yes, but some people clean up their mailboxes. I know I do. Specially with something as spammy as FB email notification back in 2009. I did check my timeline and some messages there DO look like they HAD to be private - no way those kind of information would be posted on my wall. Unfortunately, i do not keep FB emails from 2009 anymore. I guess many can't prove because of this fact - deleted fb notifications from 2009/2008

Totally. What's unfathomable to me, however, is that in the age of Gmail, in this ocean full of strident accusations, not a single person has been able to produce something like this. That's all it would take.

Okay, I just checked, I have over 3.000 archived Facebook emails.

I just have to find some private post on my timeline, the corresponding email and write a blog post?

It shouldn't be hard. The email contains the body of the message. So search for the message.
